Suspended mechanical bird sculpture

A suspended mechanical bird turns wing movement into an overhead museum artwork. Feather-like elements and a colorful body give visitors a recognizable form, while changing wing positions invite discussion of rhythm, mechanisms and the ways engineering can take inspiration from nature.

THE ACTIVITY & MECHANISM

Mechanical movement in a suspended bird

Broad wings made from repeated feather-like elements change position around a suspended bird body. Follow a wing through its cycle to see how the parts create a bird-like gesture above the gallery. This is a suspended moving artwork; the demonstration does not establish free flight or measured aerodynamic performance.

REFERENCE & PROJECT SCOPE

Reference specifications.

Use the reference dimensions and operating information to plan the exhibit. The agreed project drawings define the supplied configuration, installation interfaces and service access.

Approx. L × W × H: 1,200 × 2,500 × 1,500 mm
Exhibit theme: Science & Art
Visitor activity: Look up · Follow · Connect
Reference operation: Observe the suspended bird’s wing gesture and changes in feather alignment during the physical demonstration. The matched drawing identifies a suspension-line handling assembly and an electrical control box. Agree the control programme and movement limits for the supplied version.
Power & supply: Powered versions can be configured for 110/220 V AC, 50/60 Hz. Provide coordinated ceiling supports, electrical and control connections and access to the line-handling equipment. Confirm the structural fixing loads, suspension layout and full wing movement clearance for the final site.
Reference construction: The matched DG-15 assembly lists Q235 steel for the bird body and mounting seat, stainless-steel suspension wire, acrylic feather elements with decorative colour-shifting film, and acrylic eye elements with LEDs.
Configuration options: Appearance, interpretation language, controls and installation arrangement by project agreement
Daily operating schedule: 8 hours per day
Scheduled maintenance: Every 30 days
Factory dispatch lead time: 30–120 calendar days after design approval and receipt of the deposit. Transit time is additional.
Minimum custom order: One exhibit

Approximate planning estimate: 1200 × 2500 × 1500 mm (L × W × H). Approximate bird-body envelope for early planning, including raised-wing allowance; suspension lines and ceiling equipment are excluded. Confirm the complete movement envelope for the selected installation.

Reference configuration notes

Suspended form: The bird artwork hangs above the visitor area from visible suspension lines.
Moving wings: The selected sequence shows the wings in different positions.
Repeated elements: Broad wings are assembled from repeated feather-like elements beside a colorful body.

Customisation, installation & support

01Reference envelope: Approximate planning estimate: 1200 × 2500 × 1500 mm (L × W × H). Approximate bird-body envelope for early planning, including raised-wing allowance; suspension lines and ceiling equipment are excluded. Confirm the complete movement envelope for the selected installation.
02Overhead coordination: Resolve structural support, service access and separation from visitors, lighting and nearby building systems.
03Viewing position: Choose viewpoints that reveal the wing gesture without relying on close inspection of small mechanical details in the low-resolution reference media.

Delivery, installation & after-sales terms

Payment: A 50% deposit is payable after the contract is signed. The remaining balance is paid after acceptance and before dispatch, so full payment is received before dispatch. Payment methods are agreed in the contract.
Packaging & transport: Metal shipping cases or multilayer wood-panel shipping cases. Transport arrangements and costs are agreed to suit the project.
Materials & painted finish: Common material options include Q235 steel, stainless steel, aluminium alloy, PVC, acrylic, engineering plastics. The combination is selected for each configuration. Marine anti-corrosion paint with a piano-gloss automotive paint finish. Applied to painted parts.
Typical power · powered versions: Standard products: 100–500 W; oversized installations: 1,000–5,000 W. Typical ranges for powered versions. Confirm the selected model and final connected load.
Product maintenance: Routine checks should cover suspension-wire condition, line routing, mounting and feather fixings, wing joints and cable restraint. Provide access to the line-handling assembly, control box and LED eye components.
Installation & training: Complimentary training is available on site or remotely, according to project needs. If installation or on-site after-sales service is not included in the product price, the customer pays the actual travel expenses incurred, unless the contract provides otherwise.
Factory acceptance & handover: Mid-production and pre-dispatch checks are provided. Factory acceptance can take place in person at the factory or through acceptance videos. Installation and operating videos, written installation and operating instructions, drawings and a spare-parts list are provided.
Complimentary parts: 24 months of complimentary spare-parts support, starting when the exhibit is handed over for use. Covers faults not caused by the user. User-caused or deliberate damage is excluded. Exhibit Engineers pays the shipping cost of complimentary spare parts during the 24-month support period.
Warranty & repair labour: The whole-exhibit warranty period and repair labour scope and charges are agreed in the contract.

Can we discuss a prototype or sample for a custom version?

Yes. Prototype testing and sample fabrication are available for custom projects. Discuss which functions or features you need to review for your version. The scope, cost and schedule are agreed for the project.

How prototype testing & samples work

Does the bird fly freely?

The documented version remains suspended while its wings move. It is a kinetic museum artwork, with no established free-flight, lift-generation or autonomous navigation capability.

What needs to be agreed before installation?

Confirm the complete hanging and moving-wing envelope, structural attachment, control arrangement and service-access method. Dimensions and technical inputs remain subject to owner confirmation.

What do the images and videos show?

The gallery labels photographs, video frames, renderings and the dimension drawing. Physical footage is identified separately.
